Maluhia is keyboardist Derek Nakamoto's second instrumental album for Daniel Ho's Los Angeles-based label. A nine-minute exploration of "Days of My Youth" uses contrasts between piano and synthesized sonic washes to suggest both the joys and the sorrows associated with the Kui Lee composition. Nakamoto's arrangement is beautiful throughout. He also approaches six other melodies in a similar New Age setting. The overall ambience creates a soothing, tranquil atmosphere that makes "Maluhia" a perfect stress-reliever. |

Dear Ones,
Whether you are a "local", a visitor to the islands or a kamaaina who has moved away and dreams of returning home we all sense a very deep and real magic that embraces Hawaii. These are songs I have heard in my childhood and performed throughout my youth. Moving away from Hawaii and longing to be back home has blessed me with a new perspective of these island treasures. These impressionistic interpretations show my love and respect for the magic of the islands I will always call my home. Inspired by the Heart for the Soul. "For Daisy" Derek |
